The difference between Missouri and an actual SEC program is that Missouri is THRILLED about being 6-6 vs. Florida while Florida has fired 4 coaches for being 6-6 vs. Missouri.
I’m a proud USC Trojan, but I also know what my eyes tell me. USC football is more reputation than substance and has been for a minute. This has been the same narrative year after year. You become what you tolerate. You think finesse, you become finesse. There was a time when you played USC and it was a damn fistfight and opposing teams knew it would hurt. Now it’s a pillow fight and opposing teams know it as well.
The idea that Mizzou fans expectations are still stuck at a bowl is good enough baffles me.
Just opened a $250 million dollar stadium renovation, pay a top 10 coaching salary, are within the top 25 of NIL, etc
The money we are spending brings top 25 expectations every year now
September 14th 2024 is the last time Mizzou beat a “ranked” opponent
That team? #24 ranked Boston college who went on to win 7 games in a game you won by 6
Before that? The cotton bowl on December 29, 2023. And then you have to go all the way back to November 11th when we beat Tennessee.
This can’t be the standard. Drink needs to be held accountable. Especially if the fans are going to keep getting prices raised on them for everything…
